Church Planter in the Northeast

Northeast Presbytery seeks to plant churches that are outreach-oriented and distinctively Reformed and Presbyterian.  One area in which a core group is developing is in the area of Eldersburg, Maryland.  Other northeastern cities will be considered, depending on demographics, core group potential, and ministry connections.

We are seeking a godly man with a shepherd’s heart, a demonstrable record in personal evangelism, skill in expository preaching, the ability to articulate the Reformed faith as summarized in the Westminster Confession and Catechisms, a commitment to reformed worship and, if married, a healthy family life and a wife who shares his commitment to church planting and hospitality. He should have a M.Div. (with Greek and Hebrew) from an accredited and approved seminary and be ordained in a NAPARC denomination or eligible for ordination/reception/transfer into the ARP.

More information about church planting with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church can be found at https://outreachnorthamerica.org/how-we-help/church-planters/.

Before applying, please fill out the Self-Assessment Instrument, “Is Church Planting in the ARP a Good Fit for Me?” found at https://outreachnorthamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Self-Assesment-Test-ONA.pdf.

Our synod and presbytery offer personal assessment for church planting gifts, training, provisional session oversight, manpower from nearby sister churches, and a generous compensation package.
